Elements

The CollectionEntity Content OP locally defines the following ontology elements:

Class Collection (owl:Class) Any container for entities that share one or more common properties. E.g. stone objects, the nurses, the Louvre Aegyptian collection. A collection is not a logical class: a collection is a first-order entity, while a class is a second-order one.

Collection page

Class Entity (owl:Class) Anything: real, possible, or imaginary, which some modeller wants to talk about for some purpose.

Entity page

ObjectProperty hasMember (owl:ObjectProperty) A relation between collections and entities, e.g. 'my collection of saxophones includes an old Adolphe Sax original alto' (i.e. my collection has member an Adolphe Sax alto). The object property isMemberOf is its inverse.

hasMember page

ObjectProperty isMemberOf (owl:ObjectProperty) The inverse of hasMember.

isMemberOf page
